Spring weather suited growers just fine




On Saturday I went to the Redding Certified Farmers Market at City Hall. In the photos, from the top: Adrienne Sherman and Victoria Penn of For the Love of Pie talk while waiting for customers; and (from left) Brook and Tessa Bekendam of Orland-based Burlyson Farms sell cherries to customers.

The Bekendams said this spring's warm and dry weather has been good for crop development.

"We've actually had a really long bloom because there hasn't been any rain," Brook Bekendam said. "This will probably be one of our longest seasons, because I talked to my boss today and he said there are still some green ones on the trees."

I'll have a complete recap of May weather in Northern California and what we can expect for the summer online tomorrow. Check CapitalPress.com around midday.
